A Prehistoric Settlement near Corinth 

by 
CARL W. BLEGEN, Ph.D. 

XV + 139 pages and 8 plates, of which 5 are in color 

'' I ^HE excavations of which this book is the official 
■*- report brought to light stratified remains of the 
bronze age and made possible a classification of 
pottery of the Greek mainland between 2500 and 
1 100 B.C. Besides the pottery, walls and floors 
of houses and various objects of minor art were 
discovered, by means of which the picture of the 
civilization that preceded the "Mycenaean" age 
and of that age itself is made clearer. 

The price of the book is I5.00, but to members 
of the Archaeological Institute a reduction of 25% 
is offered, making the price $3.75. 

The Publication Committee also offers two of the 
earlier publications of the School at greatly reduced 
prices, as follows: 

Waldstein's Argive Heraeum (2 volumes, unbound) 

lio.oo. 

Seager's Explorations in the Island of Mochlos 
(boards) $3.00. 

Checks should be made payable to the Chairman 
of the Publication Committee, Professor George 
H. Chase, 12 Shady Hill Square, Cambridge, 
Mass.

Art and Archaeology 

An Illustrated Monthly Magazine pvhlished at Washington, D. C. 

by the 

Akchaeological Institute of America 

ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY tells the story of the Arts through- 
out the Ages in simple language, illustrated by beautiful pictures. 
Human interest, timeliness, and literary merit are the tests ap- 
plied in the choice of articles; artistic quality and appropriateness 
in the selection of illustrations. 

The contributed articles are of varied interest, embracing the 
fields of Oriental, Greek, Roman, Christian, Renaissance, and 
American archaeology and art. Full page illustrations are made 
an attractive feature. Notes from the various fields and brief 
paragraphs concerning archaeological discoveries, new books, and 
other items of current interest are worthy of mention.
